SERVING FOR A PITTANCE
Sir,-Your reporter, in his condensed interview write-up of July 12, fathered a statement on me which I did not make. If "serving the Mission for a pittance" means that Dr. Eaton, by his own choice of work, was receiving only a fraction of the income that his training and aBility could have brought him in New Zealand or Britain, it is course correct. Men of his mould don’t let out.their talents "for pay." But if the phrase implies, as some readers have
interpreted it, that the New Zealand Presbyterian Church pays its staff less than is required to perform their work efficiently and with fairness to their own needs, then it is false. I would appreciate the opportunity to clear myself on this point and would thank you for publishing this correction.
